Re: Co. D 11th Georgia
We are not going to tie Rod to a tree....We're going to hang him from it. Just call it Southern hospitality.

Re: Co. D 11th Georgia
Rod, the militia doesn't have any rope because General Hood ordered it burned when he ditched Atlanta or took it up north into Tennessee. Uncle Billy took the rest.
All the militia has now is bluster, umbrellas, and bad knees

Don't worry, I ALWAYS carry some twine in my pack to build a shelter, hang Yankees, or buck and gag troublesome Privates!

Re: Co. D 11th Georgia
Frank has a lot of energy. Major Kiev will definitely put him to work making obstructions. I'll let Frank make some for my company as well. Good spirit lads!

God bless the 11th Georgia! My ancestor was captain of Company H, the Walton Infantry.
